Classic GW Empire halberdiers

Hello,

This time some old school painting... Yes, the box of Warhammer Empire Altdorf halberdiers came to me. Over the past few years, I have been collecting most Empire miniatures of 4th and 5th editions all over the internet, and started a childhood project, painting a high standard Empire army. In a future post, I will showcase it here, but today, I will post some pics of my "w.i.p." halberdier regiment. I have 20 miniatures with the metal command, but have painted only 10 for now. They show their age, but are nice miniatures, with that old flavour GW had in its "Golden Age".

I painted them with GW paints, Vallejo and Foundry triads. The decals, although old, fit perfectly and add a nice touch to the unit. The banner is printed, I am horrible at free hand banners I'm afraid.

I hope you like the minis, I personally like them a lot, and I'm quite pleased with the result.
